Grub - A Community Dinner

One way to be green and promote the community is to have a Grub. This is kind of like a potluck/gathering that is good for you and the environment. Some people that have them now are active in other community projects like Food-not-bombs and Really Really Free Markets. You can join them at their table or set up one of your own. Just collect food that is wasted, or bring together ingredients from everyone's kitchens. Some food co-ops could help with this kind of neighborhood dinner. Volunteers can be asked to show up early to help cook. Others can stay and clear the plates with full bellies. This is a way for people to meet and have a easy going good time. The whole DIY approach is refreshing. Small gatherings can bring lots of people together in a big way.

Street Books - Valley of the Dolls Jacqueline Susann

Found - Coat check in Atlantic City
Picked up because - wanted to read again

Vally of the Dolls by Jacqueline Susann was a instant hit. Her tale of three friends brought together by life in 1940's New York City, was a sensation in 1966. Even now one can find it in every book store, or when getting coats from a casino in Atlantic City. This book is worth reading a second time. This is hard because when you lend it out to people it never comes back. That's what happens with really good books, they come in and out of your life. New York, if you can make it there you can make it anywhere, hard to say why this rings true. People come to New York to catch a dream. Each of Jacqueline's women has a dream to achieve, each one has heart to break, and each find help in the "Dolls." Those beautiful little helpers that keep everything on track. This story is set when women were on the verge of liberation. It has all the dangers that have to be overcome to make it on your own. Read it and then pass it on, its that good.
